For the first half, adjusted operating loss from continuing operations was &pound;1.1m, compared with a profit of &pound;3.8m a year ago. But chief executive John Conoley said: &ldquo;The sales force, particularly France, Germany and the US, has reported a bit more activity in last two months.&rdquo; The provider of mobile computing services, which recently implemented &pound;46m of annual cost-saving measures, said there had been a modest improvement in demand over the last two months.
